Mother calling




 My dear constant reader do you know that on Tuesdays more often than not I have a meeting in downtown Salt Lake, at a private non-profit directly across from the back of the library in the assist office. So I always get downtown about an hour before I have to be at my meeting so to kill time I wander through the library always stopping first at the different new books presentations. They have new fiction and new nonfiction. I'm surprised at how many new books come into the library every week. Granted I don't go every week but every week that I do go to new bunch of books. Books that really seem to interest me I'll take an image of with my cell phone which hopefully will act as a good reason to follow up on the book when I get home like reading it's overview or whatever they they published online. This book really intrigued me whether I will actually order it in or not it's another question the least I can find for the volume on my different pages that I visited on the internet was about $ $10. The volume is called departure 37, a novel about an event that happens when all the pilots of Airlines are called the night before by their mothers and told not to fly the next day. It's weird that they all don't fly but it's even more weird is that all the ones that were called by the mothers even the Dead Mothers! That's what's really of interest to me is that my mother has been dead now for at least 10 years it seems like but still every once in awhile I get the weirdest feeling that she's going to call me on my phone. I don't necessarily miss my mother or my father for that matter but sometimes I wouldn't mind visiting with my mom over issues and things that I might be going through it's kind of weird. But the idea of this book about people getting the phone calls from their possible Dead Mothers just really running a cord with me. Sometimes I wouldn't be surprised if my phone rang and it showed it to be my mother was calling me. I don't know if I would answer it or not but it would certainly be interesting all the same.
